Brief Summary
Using a randomized, placebo-controlled trial design in subjects with vitamin D deficiency, the investigators propose to determine if vitamin D treatment improves glycemic control in vitamin D deficient subjects with T2DM. The investigators hypothesize that oral vitamin D treatment will improve glycemic control and ß-cell function in vitamin D deficient AA subjects with T2DM. The investigators further hypothesize that maintaining serum 25(OH)D concentrations above 20 ng/ml with oral supplementation of vitamin D will have additional glycemic control effects.

PLACEBO COMPARATORSubjects with vitamin D deficiency (serum 25(OH)D \<20ng/ml) will receive an 8 week of vitamin D treatment (50,000 IU oral vitamin D2/once per week) vs. placebo. All subjects will continue their existing hypoglycemic regimen.
